A Collapse Update from Venezuela: Corruption, Hunger, and Crime
Editor’s Note: In this update, Jose talks about the worsening corruption, hunger, and crime in Venezuela. It’s hard to imagine, but things are still getting worse there.

I have been trying to solve a couple of issues this past week, mainly related to my parents’ health.
